California Democrats slammed Donald Trump after he joked the US should let Iran 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego at a rally in Nebraska on Monday. The President campaigned in Grand Island alongside GOP Senator Pete Ricketts, who is running against an independent candidate backed by national Democrats. Trump was defending the Iran War and explaining that higher gas prices - which he hopes to lower with an Executive Order ⁠expanding ​access to tax-exempt ​diesel - are a small price to pay to keep Iran from having a nuclear weapon. 'And again, remember, with the war, it's just artificial....

It’s likely nothing unless you travel a lot. However, it would be prudent to maintain heightened situational awareness on Tuesday (6th) and Wednesday (7th). There is a better than average likelihood the RAF Fairford base attack was going to coincide on Oct 6 or 7 with what the French provocateurs are calling a “National Day of Action.” The U.K terrorist network was simply caught in the rehearsal phase. October 7th is the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel. The “Red‑Green Alliance” refers to a tactical partnership between far‑left movements (“red”) and Islamist movements (“green”), rooted in shared opposition to...

There are 15-16 million illegal aliens in the US according to Grok.There are 270,000 temporary protected refugees down from a peek of 1.3 million under Biden according As for asylum seekers, there are between 3.5 million and 3.7 million pending claims according to Grok.This would make roughly 20 million more to deport and does not count birthright citizens born to illegals nor does it count legal residents like H1B visa holders and their dependents (about 1.3 million) nor OPT visa holders (400,000).20 million seems like a pretty low number to me given how common illegals are in schools, on construction...

Veteran GOP strategist Karl Rove on Wednesday published a scorching condemnation of the Republican Party, announcing in a Wall Street Journal editorial that he will vote Democratic in the Texas Railroad Commission race over "bigoted" Republican candidate Bo French. "These people are diminishing the Republican Party, not building it," Rove wrote. "I'll have no part of it. This November, I'll vote for only the second Democrat in my life. The first was Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock in 1994, because I thought he would work with Republicans." He continued, "The second will be Mr. French's opponent, Jon Rosenthal."

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), under President Joe Biden and former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, knowingly allowed millions of illegal aliens who overstayed their visas to remain in the United States, classifying them as “non-priority” aliens. A report from DHS Inspector General (IG) Joseph Cuffari details a clear lack of immigration enforcement embedded within the Biden administration — particularly regarding visa overstays. From 2021 to 2024, for instance, ICE received more than 3.1 million leads on visa overstays, about 104,000 of whom were classified as potential national security or public safety threats. Fewer than 500 of...

The “Dumbocrats” NarrativeA long list of prominent conservatives have referred to leftists and Democrats as dumb, stupid, incompetent, crazy, and insane. In 2007, Ann Coulter wrote the book “If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans.” Both Rush Limbaugh and President Trump regularly referred to Democrats as “Dumbocrats.” More recently, the leader of the House Freedom Caucus called Democrats “the crazy party,” and JD Vance framed the contrast between the parties as “common sense vs. crazy.” Matt Margolis titled a piece in PJ Media this year “Democrats Are Too Stupid to Heed This Warning,” and posited that somewhere between the...

Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said Monday night that President Donald Trump has approved the execution by Army firing squad of convicted terrorist and shooter Nidal Malik Hasan.Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, was convicted in 2013 of fatally shooting 13 people in 2009 and injuring 32 others at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas.The date and location of the shooting has not been selected.

Nothing is ever new under the sun (Eccl. 1:9). It is just demonically repackaged and sold to the next godless and reprobate generation as a new bill of goods. Since 1973, no other act of genocide has so ravished the “Land of the Free” as the abomination of abortion. Since that time, over 64,000,000 (SIXTY-FOUR MILLION) unwanted children have been butchered on the altar of selflessness, and the erotic altar of America's Moloch. Millions of women from all walks of life who have offered up their children have NEVER recovered psychologically from the horrific psychological afflictions of their acts of...

The Department of Justice announced today that it has filed denaturalization actions in multiple U.S. district courts against 40 individuals accused of serious offenses, including acting as an agent for a foreign government, committing voluntary manslaughter, and aggravated sodomy against a special‑needs man. Filed between Aug. 21 and Oct. 2, 2026, these complaints represent the largest volume of complaints submitted in a single period under the Trump administration. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, a naturalized U.S. citizen’s citizenship may be revoked, and certificate of naturalization canceled, if the naturalization was illegally procured or procured by concealment of a material...

Regardless of why Putin might have held off on this for so long, he’s now arguably motivated at least in part by the tantalizing possibility of reaching big-ticket resource deals with the US after the conflict ends, the details of which his and Trump’s envoys have been negotiating for over a year already. The New York Times cited allegedly intercepted Russian communications to report that Russia plans to obliterate Ukraine’s power, heating, and water systems this winter. While their claim can’t be confirmed, it aligns with Putin mildly “escalating to de-escalate” over the summer in response to Zelensky’s strike campaign,...

In an interview on "The Benny Show" with Benny Johnson, Mike Benz argues that USAID played a broad role in shaping Brazil’s political and institutional landscape. MIKE BENZ: What's happening in Brazil was a full-on Truman show. You had the media funded by USAID. You had the universities funded by USAID. You had the staffers of the Supreme Court and the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), the election court, USAID. You had all the constitutional law advocates funded by USAID. You had the LGBT activists funded by USAID. It's full spectrum. If you were to walk down a city block in...

Hundreds of Palestinians reportedly marched in Gaza City on Saturday, chanting against #Hamas after activist Iyad Abu Jendeya was detained following social media posts accusing businessmen and Hamas-linked figures of corruption. Independent journalists and activists said protesters gathered near Ahli Hospital, where they believed Abu Jendeya was being held. The corruption allegations and circumstances surrounding his detention have not been independently verified.

...Afederally funded project recruiting landlords to house refugees kept operating after the Trump administration suspended its State Department award—with support from another federal agency. The project, Refugee Housing Solutions, is run by Church World Service. It recruits property owners and connects them with ReHome, an online platform matching refugees and other newcomers with rentals.... Its own suspension announcement⁠ explains how the operation continued: work funded by the State Department stopped, while services supported by the Department of Health and Human Services remained. One federal funding stream was suspended. Another kept the project running. The housing arrangements can include substantial financial...

August Hanning, the man who once led Germany's spy service, is now under investigation for passing on state secrets. Police have arrested the former head of Germany's BND foreign intelligence agency, August Hanning, on suspicion of espionage, the federal prosecutor's office announced Tuesday. Hanning served as the agency's chief from December 1998 to November 2005 before moving to the Federal Interior Ministry, where he worked as state secretary until November 2009. According to a statement from the prosecutor's office, the 80-year-old faces charges including espionage, disclosure of state secrets, attempted treason and working as a secret service agent. It did...

J.R.R. Tolkien’s vision of a declining Gondor offers a warning for the troubled West—but also a message of hope that renewal remains possible. The Despair and Hope of J. R. R. TolkienThe novelist J. R. R. Tolkien (1892–1973) repeatedly insisted that his epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings, written from 1937 to 1949, was not allegorical. But some scholars have argued otherwise, detecting contemporary, 20th-century influences in his storytelling. Tolkien fought at the nightmarish Battle of the Somme in World War I. He witnessed the slaughter of the youth of Europe in the trenches that lived with him the...

2008 EU (then including the UK) nominal GDP was larger than the US, not “similar sized.” Common figures from IMF/World Bank-sourced compilations: EU ≈ $19.3 trillion vs. US ≈ $14.8 trillion (EU roughly 130% of US). Other series show EU around $16.3–16.4 trillion vs. US ~$14.8 trillion. In either case the EU was clearly bigger, boosted by a strong euro (near all-time highs vs. the dollar) and enlargement.​ Visualcapitalist “Similar sized” is therefore inaccurate for nominal GDP in USD. (Euro-area-only comparisons were closer in some contemporaneous accounts, but the statement refers to the EU.) 2025–2026 US nominal GDP is in...

"Abdi Nur Salah and his co-conspirators used taxpayer money meant to support hungry children to buy themselves a life of luxury," an FBI official said. Abdi Nur Salah, a former aide to Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, was sentenced last week to nearly three years in federal prison for his role in Minnesota’s sprawling Feeding Our Future scandal. The scandal takes its name from the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, which sponsored meal sites throughout the state where free food for children was purportedly served. In reality, the defendants submitted fraudulent claims for reimbursement from the federal government for meals that...
